Multivitamin Gummies

Thovek produces multivitamin gummies on a made-to-order basis for supplement brands, private-label buyers and contract packers. The gelling system is the first decision in the brief: pectin gives a vegan, halal- and kosher-friendly gummy with a shorter, cleaner bite, while gelatin — bovine or fish — gives the chewier, more elastic texture many consumers associate with the format. Both are deposited into starch moulds or silicone moulds and cured before oiling or sugar-sanding. Gummies are normally deposited at around 2 to 2.5 g each with a serving of one or two pieces, and shapes include bears, stars, hearts, rings and simple domes. A typical daily multivitamin gummy carries vitamins A, C, D3 and E, the B group including B6, B12, folic acid, biotin, niacinamide and pantothenic acid, and trace minerals such as zinc and iodine. Not every nutrient suits the format: iron and several minerals are poorly tolerated in a gummy on taste and stability grounds, and calcium is limited by the bulk it adds to a 2.5 g piece, so gummy formulas are usually built around the vitamins with a small mineral set. Heat-sensitive and oxidation-sensitive actives are dosed with a formulation overage established from stability trials so that the label claim is met to the end of shelf life. The carbohydrate base can be conventional sucrose and glucose syrup or a sugar-free build on isomalt, maltitol or allulose; colours can be taken from fruit, vegetable and spice concentrates where a no-synthetic-colour claim is wanted, and strawberry, orange, mixed fruit and lemon are the usual flavours. Gummies are sensitive to heat and humidity — warm storage causes cold flow and sticking — so packing and transit conditions are specified alongside the formula. Standard export packing is an induction-sealed HDPE jar of 60, 90 or 120 pieces with a desiccant canister, with sachets, stick packs and stand-up pouches available for sampling or travel formats. Shelf life is typically 18 to 24 months stored below 25 °C away from direct sunlight, confirmed by stability data on each formula. Presented as a food supplement, gummies classify for export under ITC-HS 21069099 as a food preparation not elsewhere specified rather than as sugar confectionery. Manufacture is at an FSSAI-licensed facility operating to GMP with ISO 22000 / HACCP, and shipments are supported by batch certificates of analysis, certificate of origin, certificate of free sale, health certificate and vegan, halal, kosher or gelatin-source declarations as the importing market requires.
